Welcome back
Dear friends and guests,
Due to the latest Government restrictions, we can only accommodate those staying for essential, non-social and non-tourist purposes. If you are due to arrive for a leisure stay, we would ask you to please rebook your stay via the website or travel agent you booked with. You can also email the hotel directly.
We look forward to welcoming our leisure guests back from February 1st when hopefully restrictions will be lifted. We would like to thank you for your continued support, wishing you health and happiness this new year.
